Hello!! Hope you had a wonderful week... we had lots of rain at the end, but hopefully that will clear up for the weekend. Been busy making things for something I have coming up next week, but took a little time out to make a card for a few challenges: Freshly Made Sketches, Color Throwdown and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. When I saw the FMS layout I was really intrigued by it and tried out a couple of ideas, but they didn't work. Finally settled on using an image from one of my favorite Stampin Up! sets called Kinda Eclectic and the poppy images from the Altenew set Painted Poppy. I had to do things a bit backwards by die cutting the images first and then stamping them. I started by stamping the outline in red and then adding the flower heads using pink. The leaf was stamped in two shades of aqua ink. I used the image from Kinda Eclectic to stamp the two bar elements of the layout in VersaFine CLAIR Morning Mist ink and then layered the poppies and leaf over the top. The sentiment was created by stamping the happy from the Painted Poppies set in the same gray ink and then adding the happy birthday (from the Altenew Trigonometry set) in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne. I had meant to only stamp the birthday portion, but forgot to wipe the ink off of it before stamping. 
Supplies: Cardstock: SSS fog, Recollections white; Stamps: Altenew; Dies: Altenew and AJVD; Inks: Stampin Up! Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party, Pink Pirouette; VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne and Morning Mist
